 Posted: Tue Dec 28, 2004 2:49 pm Post subject: Who will win? |
 |
|
This thread was once a freat fun on another board, so I thought maybe it's worth effort to resurrect it here.
It's a game where the rules are: think up two Tolkien characters (from any book) and think who will win in a hand-to-hand fight between them - with reasons. For example:
Luthien vs Galadriel
I think Luthien will win, cause she defeated both Sauron sna Morgoth (kinda) while Galadriel struggled to hols a weakened Sauron off.
So, for the next participant: Elrond vs. Beren - who will win? |

Elrond, elf magic, 1000's years experience, lots of battles. Though Beren would give him a real scare.
Mine: Turin-Aragorn

Turin, hands down. Killing Glaurung was, I believe, the greatest victory ever achieved by a mortal. Plus, he was crazy.
Next one: Sauron (with the Ring) vs. Balrog. |

Well, if Gandalf and Glorfindel could do it, i'm gonna say that Sauron too could probably kick balrog butt. It might be a toss-up if the balrog is Gothmog though.
Next pairing:
Gandalf vs Osse |

Meh... I'm guessing that Ulmo is a little more powerful than Nienna, and therefor it would reflect in their Maiar. (Plus it doesn't seem like offensive magic would be a feature with a maia of Nienna.) So yeah, Osse.
A Balrog or a dragon?

On the average, I'd say Balrog (fallen Maiar, invincible almost to any kind of weapon). Though if a dragon is Ancalagon (could fly) or Glaurung (mental powers), they could give a balrog a run for its money.
Eowyn vs Faramir
Keep 'em coming! |

Something about that just struck me as funny 
*****
Eowyn, Faramir wouldn't raise a glove to her and she'd kick him in the nuts when he wasn't looking....
Maedhros vs Fingon

Now wait just one cotton-pickin' minute there Inglor! I'm not sure how your elf-girls play, but a Shield Maiden would not play dirty, she wouldn't need to. Although I do agree with you that she probably would win. I don't think Faramir would ever raise a hand to Eowyn in anger (or any woman for that matter), he would, however, give her a run for her money, and let her win (without her knowing it, of course ).

Fingon will spank him, in that case. He's not called Valiant for nothing.
Regarding Eowyn, I also agree that she will win, even without Faramir letting her. She killed the WK, for chissakes! Faramir, while a valiant warrior, didn't do anything even approaching that feat.
Next one: Gollum vs. Mim the Dwarf. |

I do not know the whole story about Glorfindel but I heard he is the bad ass of ME so I am going to go with Glorfindel. ALTHOUGH.... there is that whole thing about would a good elf hit a woman??? Hmmmm.... But if we are talking the movie version of Glorfindel - Galadriel would chew him up and spit him out!
Next up and feel free to chime in on the Glordindel vs. Galadriel as well.....
I know that no one has ever wanted to go there but here we go....
LEGOLAS vs. ARAGORN

I think it's a toss-up that depends largely on the type of weapons used. From a distance, Legolas will have an edge, but if he kets Aragorn up close then he's toast.

Are we talkin' hand to hand (or sword to sword, whatevah), or does Eomer get to cheat and ride his charging war horse and use the spear? If we put them on equal footing, Boromir would whup Eomer's arse, no question!
I realize this might be a little  but Artanis, I love your new avvie!
